Comfortable hiking pants?

[Lefty315]

I’m a little late to the game but thought I’d throw this in.   I have a pair of the Eddie Bauer pants and like them.   I picked up 2 pairs of the First Ascent shorts last year and wore them in Zion, Bryce and Moab in over 100 degree temps.   Zero odor after a lot of sweating.   I assume the pants would be the same. 

Another company to look at is Duluth, especially now they’ve put stores in the NW.   I have the first rendition of their Dry on the fly cargo pants.   While durable, they don’t stretch much.   The latest dry on the fly with flexfit stretches a lot and I can see these becoming one of my outdoor activities favorites to wear.  Their flexpedition pants also stretch a lot and I compare them to the Eddie Bauer material with the DWR.   But the Duluth are not so form fitting and have a fuller seat and thigh, which I prefer.   Sale prices are the way to buy them for sure, but worth checking out.

Kuiu attack or tiburon pants

Kuiu Tiburon are flat out magic. I have 2 pairs (neither in camo) and they're so light and flexible/comfortable but the biggest draw is how fast they dry. I can jump into a river and then be dry in 5 minutes. They're incredible. The Attack are good too but quite a bit thicker and I would only wear on cold-weather hikes.

Unless it's raining, I'm wearing Arcteryx pants that I get from the thrift store or Ebay. Normall they are $200+ but, when they are $10-$50 and last a few years, it's palatable.

I'll 2nd the kuiu attack pants. The vent zippers that allow air to cross your hams and backside are great. They are an athletic fit, so when in doubt I'd go up a size. They're light, I stay cool, and they keep me dry unless it's a torrential downpour.
